 This Viking axe in the shape of a tree of life is engraved with the symbol of Ygddrasil. This Viking motif is known as the Tree of Life or World Tree. This immense, mythical tree is present in many ancient beliefs and religions. In German and Scandinavian mythology, the Tree of Life is an ash tree whose foliage is covered by clouds and whose roots reach into the underworld.

Yggdrasil ( ᛦᚵᛑᚱᛆᛋᛁᛚ ), the Viking Tree of Life is a saint ash tree which’s trunk is the middle of the world. All the other parts of the cosmos is around it. It’s inconceivably enormous branches and roots are holding and bounding the world’s different parts together.

The Tree of Life is a universal symbol. It means creation and consciousness. The growing of the tree is the symbol of the universe and its evolution. The tree represents the meeting of the human and divine wisdom and the endless progression. 

In the Viking folklore Yggdrasil is an ash tree, so i made the handles of these axes from ash wood. Ash is a really strong but elastic hardwood. It is used for making bows, tool handles and other qualitiative items. An ash tree that kept dry can even last for 500 years. The handles got absorbing tree oil protection too.

These axe’s head are made of steel like the traditional axes. The patterns on the heads aren’t just printed but milled into the metal, it is like a relief Tree of Life motif.
